Ego D evelopment i n Juvenile Delinquency among Bahraini Youths
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The rapid modernization in the Kingdom of Bahrain has brought wealth and prosperity but also many stresses in its traditional social roles and relations. The advent of juvenile delinquency is regarded as a symptom of such social changes. In this study, certain measures were administered to a group of 30 juvenile offenders which were compared with those of 30 high school pupils who had no prior record of delinquency. Interrelations with delinquency versus non - delinquency statuses were hypothesized among the following study var iables; family conditions, measured by the Parental Acceptance/Rejection Questionnaire and the ego development, measured by the Washington University Sentence Completion Test. Both these instruments were tested before by translation into Arabic and applica tion on Arabic populations. The results showed that certain social and economic status criteria were significantly related to the delinquency status. Discriminant analysis revealed that level of ego development contributed enormously more to the prediction than any single another variable. Significant contributions were also made by the level of mother’s education, of father’s occupation and other family conditions such as the father being married to more than one wife and mothers being strictly housewives only. These findings reveal social psychological changes due to rapid modernization that affect the core of the family system.
